Sometimes a cheap alternative will not give you the type of attention to detail, design and material that is up to your standards. For that reason I don't buy cheap sunglasses, I certainly won't entertain insanely expensive options either.

They told me Gucci was Lux. Oh well. They were $220 and $200 before 50%. So $210 total isn't bad

When I used to sell glass at my old company you would not believe the markup! Sometimes over 1000%!!

We would get sheets of glass in bulk at wholesale at like 2$ a piece and depending on what we cut out of it and the shape some pieces of glass could retail for over 100$!!!

Just picked up a pair of Gucci and Burberry Shades for half off and got my prescription lenses done for half too. Still a rip off though... But less than full retail!

I should post a list of all the brands that are made by the top 3 companies

Lux, Safilo, Marcolin, and Marchon basically own all the rights to most name brands.

I just picked up a pair of Louis Vuitton Attitude gold sunglasses, really great lenses. Dosent look like LV outsources their manufacturing..

If you like them, then that is the only thing that matters.
